Active Straight Leg Raise - Day 1

Active Straight Leg Raise Correctives - Day 1
Welcome to Day 1 of your Active Straight Leg Raise (ASLR) improvement program! If your Functional Movement Screen (FMS) identified ASLR as your biggest opportunity for improvement, this video will guide you through the essential corrective exercises to address this limitation.
Limited ASLR isn't just about tight hamstrings—it affects your ability to separate hip movement from your lower back, impacts your running gait, compromises your hinging mechanics, and can lead to compensatory patterns that increase injury risk. Whether you're an athlete looking to improve performance or simply want to move better, improving your ASLR will have widespread benefits throughout your entire movement system.
In This Video You'll Learn:
✅ Hook Lying Breathing - Foundation breathing mechanics that establish proper core control and pelvic positioning
✅ Strap Assisted Stretch - Controlled hamstring lengthening that teaches active flexibility without compensation
✅ Half Kneeling Quad and Hip Flexor Stretch - Targeted hip flexor mobility to reduce anterior pull on the pelvis
✅ Assisted Leg Lowering to Bolster - Core stability training that builds eccentric control during hip flexion and extension
How to Use This Video:

Perform this routine daily (8-12 minutes)
Move slowly and deliberately through each exercise
Focus on maintaining neutral spine position throughout
Avoid forcing range of motion—let it develop naturally
Reassess your ASLR weekly to track improvements

Remember: Your ASLR limitation is about the relationship between your hips, hamstrings, and core control. These exercises address all three components systematically. Expect noticeable improvements within 2-4 weeks of consistent daily practice.
